Safety Symbol
In this operator’s manual and on the product, safety symbols are used to communicate important
safety information. This section is provided to improve understanding of these symbols.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol
to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the product or bodily harm.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information that relates to the protection of property.
This symbol means read the operator’s manual carefully before using the equipment. The operator’s manual contains important information
on the safe and proper operation of the equipment.
This symbol means always wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles when handling or using this equipment to reduce the risk of eye
injury.
This symbol indicates the risk of electrical shock.

NOTICE
General Notes and Warnings
Do not run this LED Matrix-3 SeaLite outside the
recommended voltage range.
Do not remove the set screws in the collar on the LED
Matrix-3 SeaLite body as these hold the light body and
light head together.
WARNING
After each deployment, carefully check to make sure the
light has not flooded by shaking and listening for water,
or visual inspection for moisture inside the LED window.
Also look into the holes on the forward bracket and
verify the head is tightly mated to the rear housing. It is
possible for some lights to partially flood and then reseal
themselves while underwater. Upon surfacing, the
light would then be internally pressurized, a potentially
dangerous situation. Additionally, if the power remains
on when the light has partially flooded, it is possible
for electrolytic generation of an explosive mixture of
hydrogen and oxygen gases. The Matrix-3 has a unique
design to prevent possible internal pressure buildup in
that the light head assembly will ‘pop’ slightly and relieve
any internal pressures over 100 psi. If the head looks
slightly askew be sure to investigate for possible leaks.
If a light appears flooded upon removal from the water
as evidenced by water or moisture on the inside of the
window, it should be treated as potentially dangerous.
Make sure that the power is disconnected as soon as a
flooded condition is suspected. Point the light away from
persons and valuables.
Corrosion Warning: The LED Matrix-3 SeaLite is made
from superior strength aluminum alloy 7075 to make it as
lightweight as possible. It has been hard anodized and
fitted with strategically placed sacrificial zinc anodes to
resist corrosion of the body. Be sure to regularly inspect
these zincs for depletion and replace them before they
are fully corroded. These lights are not designed for long
term immersion of more than several weeks. Designers
and end users must employ a system-wide corrosion
prevention scheme that includes this strong, but less
noble metal.
Thermal Warning: The LED Matrix-3 SeaLite has
thermal protection designed into the LED light engine
and the electronic driver. If the light is operated in air for
an extended period of time the useful life the LED’s may
degrade and the external temperature of the housing
will reach temperatures that may be painful to human
touch. If the light is operated briefly for testing purposes
in air, be sure to let it cool down for a couple of minutes
before immersing it in water to minimize thermal shock
to the components. It is also a good idea to turn the light
off a few seconds prior to removing it from the water as
part of normal recovery procedures, as this will minimize
buildup of scale on the LED window and housing
components.

DANGER
A Ground Fault Interrupt should be used
whenever high voltage lights are being
utilized; when divers are in the water
this is especially critical! Do not operate
AC-powered lights without a GFCI!
Additionally, all high voltage lights should be
case grounded for safety.
The light uses a ‘high side driver’, which means the
LED light engine is connected directly to the line. DO
NOT allow personnel to come into contact with the
LED connections while the light is energized as lethal
voltages will be present. Contact DSPL for further
information if this is not clear.
Pre Dive Inspection:
1. Ensure the connector is tight. Occasionally
twisting of the connector occurs when
unscrewing the locking sleeve which will cause it
to loosen from the body.
2. Engage the locking sleeve and tighten to finger
tight, never use a wrench.
3. Turn on light to check operation. Turn off and let
cool before deployment.
4. Check conditions of anodes. Clean and replace
as needed.
Post Dive Inspection:
1. Rinse your LED Matrix-3 SeaLite in fresh water
after every dive.
2. Check conditions of anodes. Clean and replace
as needed.
3. Wipe sapphire port with a soft clean towel
4. Occasionally remove the crash guard and inspect
for signs of corrosion or biofouling.
5. Grease threads of 316SS screws with
AquaShield Lubricant for improved corrosion
resistance.
Troubleshooting and
Maintenance
Problems and Causes
There are three main elements of your LED Matrix-3
SeaLite to consider when a problem is detected.
1. Connector and cable
2. Driver and interface board, including the fuse
3. Light engine
If your LED Matrix-3 SeaLite is not operational, make
certain power is being delivered to the mating connector
on the appropriate pins. If power is being supplied
please follow the table below for troubleshooting
procedures.
Problem Problem Cause Recommended
Action
Light doesn’t
turn on.
Not plugged in. Secure all connec-
tions
GFCI tripped. Check light for
obvious problems,
then reset GFCI.
Cable Defective. Check continuity
from one end to the
other. Meg test if
possible.
Insufficient volt-
age.
Make sure power is
adequate.
Check position

External Maintenance
Recommended spares:
●1 ea: O-Ring service kit (lint-free wipes
(Kimwipes), isopropyl alcohol, DC-111 Silicone
Grease, food grade silicone lubricant, dust-
off canned air, brass or plastic o-ring removal
tool)…. User Supplied
●1 ea: AquaShield Lubricant 14oz…. User

Optional Spares:
●1 ea: Crash Guard (P/N: 712-025-068-0A-01)
Replacing the Zinc Anodes
Tools required: Flat blade screwdrivers, Pliers
1. Be certain the LED Matrix-3 SeaLite is powered
off.
2. Using the flat blade screwdriver, remove the
6 screws holding the crash guard to the body.
Remove crash guard.
3. Using pliers, unscrew the worn anodes.
4. Clean surface of light body under anodes with
soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
5. Using AquaShield Lubricant, lube both sides of
the nylon washers, external threads of the anode
bolt, base of the anodes, internal threads of
the mounting hole on the lighthead, and on the
surface of the lighthead under the anode.
6. Install anodes in lighthead finger tight.
7. Using pliers on body of anode, apply LIGHT
torque to slightly compress nylon washer. Don’t
worry about scratching the anode, it will corrode
anyway. If excess lubricant is in the tapped hole,
the anode bolt will go in slowly as the excess
lubricant is displaced and squeezes out.
8. Lubricate 316SS tapped screw holes with
AquaShield Lubricant.
9. Lubricate 316SS screws with AquaShield
Lubricant.
10.Replace Crash Guard. Replace Screws. Using a
flat blade screw driver, tighten to firm.
Internal Maintenance
There are no field serviceable parts. Return light to
factory.
